Culture Revival Ngarigo Nation aims to bring a revival of Ngarigo values, practices and culture into the modern world. We have developed a Tribal Revival Framework, a 25-year plan to achieve this with Ngarigo family and community, and ensure its continuation to the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/1621412919075-AYIGT0FUZMA3B5567YFI/Screen+Shot+2021-05-19+at+6.27.34+pm.png Ngarigo Off Country - Ngarigo Off Country Because of the widespread dislocation from the early 1800’s as early Europeans began travelling South, Ngarigo were more affected than many in being dispersed from Country. Many Ngarigo continue to live away from Country, reconnecting when possible but contributing to the rebuilding of Ngarigo Nationhood through remote activities, some of which are described here. https://www.ngarigo.com/get-involved-new daily 0.75 2023-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/c56d56d9-7055-4175-b807-bcaabb455da5/NNIC%2BLOGO%2BSOCIAL2-small-leftpad.png Get Involved - Get Involved Thanks for your interest in supporting Ngarigo Nation!

I was just over one pound (450g) in weight, 12 inches (30cm) long and eight weeks premature. I started school at five and finished at 16. During my early years I grew up in Sydney. I have three younger brothers. My mother was a Ngarigo woman from the Stolen Generations; she was removed from her mother aged about three months because her father was Aboriginal and her mother non-Aboriginal. During these years we were never to speak about our history as my mother always feared her children would be removed as my father is non-Aboriginal. So she would tell people she was Italian, as she had dark skin, very big, brown eyes and black hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/1621477877322-XFLW998LFXZFWB3AE8SK/CurrawongDark.jpg Stories - Aunty Therese - I commenced nursing at 16, in those days it was four year hospital training. During my second year Matron found out I was Aboriginal; she was not happy, she said “if I had known you were an Aboriginal nurse you would not be accepted to do your training at my hospital as your race never amount to anything”. From that day on I have always been an achiever, worked harder than others and focused on positive outcomes and never judging others. Much to Matron’s dislike I passed all my exams and completed my training. In 1968 I commenced my working holiday around Australia travelling by train, motorbike and bus from Sydney to Perth, then onto South Australia, Northern Territory (Alice Springs and Darwin), Queensland and back to Sydney. I was nursing in different hospitals, community nursing and Aboriginal Missions (as they were called in those days); my travels took me about two years. After returning to NSW I continued nursing in the Sydney region, and also travelled to New Zealand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/1624148585022-3PLJKY2Y07FTV1FSGYJT/ML4.jpg Stories - Aunty Therese - I married my first husband in 1971 and had my lovely first son in 1972; sadly the marriage failed and we were divorced a few years later. In 1976 I met my wonderful husband Geoff and we were married in Canberra; we have been married 44 years. Our second son arrived in 1978 and our family was complete. I was still nursing at the time. It was at this time that we became Host Parents for International Students. Laura was our first and one of the best exchange students we had. Since then we have hosted 15 young folk from all over the world. Geoff was transferred with his work to the Gold Coast in 1989 and I began nursing at Southport Hospital. I decided to establish a Nursing Agency as there was no support for the tourist and relief nursing staff for Aged Care and Home Care. I employed 30 staff and provided relief nursing staff for hospitals, nursing homes, home care, day surgery units, medical centres, private schools and the tourist. I was an entrant for Cancer Council’s Nurse of the Year three times, encouraging staff to participate, raising awareness about cancer-related illnesses and raising much-needed funds. https://www.ngarigo.com/story-uncle-dennis daily 0.75 2023-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/1620200358337-T3KTHU7DS32DBKG862CH/BSE-24RECT.jpg Stories - Uncle Dennis - Uncle Dennis Mark Fuller Ngarigo Warrior Elder My story begins with a baby girl born in Cooma, NSW in 1925 to an Aboriginal Ngarigo Father and Mother who was a descendent of an American man who arrived in Cooma in the 1850’s and was later known as “Hank the Yank” from Yankee Flats near Numeralla. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607fd682cc2b3d1c6038accd/1621412919075-AYIGT0FUZMA3B5567YFI/Screen+Shot+2021-05-19+at+6.27.34+pm.png Stories - Uncle Dennis - This baby girl was removed not long after birth by officials of the Government and reared by Nuns in institutions including Goulburn, Bowral and Guildford. She did not know who her parents were. She stayed under the control of the Nuns until a visit from a barrister and his wife selected her to perform house duties and child minding at their residence in Sydney. She was in her early teens. At 18 she began her own journey by residing at a hostel and working at the Woollen Mills in Parramatta. It was there she befriended a girl from North Parramatta who was one of a family of seven, descendants of English immigrants from the 1820’s. One of the seven was a man who was to become the love of her life. They later married and had four children, one girl and three boys. They resided in Blacktown, NSW. https://www.ngarigo.com/welcome-acknowledgement-differences daily 0.75 2023-11-08 https://www.ngarigo.com/tribal-revival-framework daily 0.75 2023-11-08
